GAS-BURNER CLEANER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 241,197, dated May 10,1881.

(No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be itknown that I, J UAN BELLIDO DE LUNA, ot'the city of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gas- BurnerCleaners; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,and exact description of the invention, that will enable others skilledin the artto which it appertains to make and use the same, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of referencemarked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to an instrument for cleaning the slits orapertures of gas-burners.

This invention consists in a novel construction, combination, andarrangement of a handle having aforked or slotted shank, a metalplateforming a blade or blades, a spur or needle and fastening devices, ashereinafter more particularly described.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front view of an instrumentembodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is a side View, partly in section, atright angles to Fig. 1.

A represents a handle, which may be made of wood orother suitablematerial and provided with a ring for suspending it when not in use. Thelower end of the handle terminates in a shank, B, which is eitherprovided with a slot extending nearly its entire length or is splitlongitudinally, so as to divide it into two branches, I) b, which latterform is preferable.

G is a thin metal plate inserted in the slot or slit of the shank, andextending laterally therefrom, so as to form a blade on each side. It issecured in place by screws, pins, or bolts (7, passing through it andthrough the branches 1).

E is a ferrule attached to the lower end of the shank B, whether saidshank be forked or only slotted. The ferrule may be screwed in place, orsimply driven on in the usual manner.

G is a tapering needle or spur inserted in the lower end of the shank.The tang of the needle or spur may be threaded and screwed into place,or it may be held in position by the pressure of the ferrule on the endsof the fork, in which latter case the tang may be nicked, so as to causeit to hold securely.

In using this instrument the blade 0 is used for cleaning a fan orbats-win g burner by passing it through the slit of the burner; and theneedle or spur G is used for a fish-tail burner by cleaning theapertures in the tip.

\Vhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. As an improved article of manufacture, a gas-burner cleanerconsisting of a handle, A, provided with a blade, 0, and a spur orneedle, G, whereby provision is made in one instrument for'cleaningdifferent kinds of burners, substantially as described.

2. The combination of a handle, A, slotted or forked shank 13, blade 0,screws, pins, or bolts (1, and ferrule E, substantially as hereindescribed.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this22d day of March, 1881.
